It stipulated that every burgher between the ages of sixteen and sixty must be prepared to fight for his country at any moment; and that, if required for active service, he must provide himself with a riding-horse, saddle and bridle, with a rifle and thirty cartridges-or, if he were unable to obtain a rifle, he must bring with him thirty bullets, thirty caps, and half a pound of powder-in addition he must be provisioned for eight days. That there should have been an alternative to the rifle was due to the fact that the law was made at a time when only a few burghers possessed breech-loading rifles-achterlaaiers, as we call them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christiaan Rudolf De Wet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544731280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544731285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.82d","brand":"Christiaan Rudolf De Wet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522547380479,"sku":"9781544731285","price":28.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a76e63af-c0f1-4dc5-a690-a4d878c25705.jpg?v=1700157823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-years-war-christiaan-rudolf-de-wet-9781544731285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
